It’s by far one of the best videos of 2016, extremely eye-grabbing, intense, and full of action, but the song just doesn’t have the same quality. I didn’t care much for this song without the music video. “Party Monster” feels like a Weeknd club banger, something that he hasn’t had in the past.Ī woman’s voice told him he’s paranoid at the end. ![]() It sounds like the face he’s making on the album cover. I’m interested, seeing where he takes this. There’s a level of persona in this bridge. I feel like this isn’t the song you play at 11:45, if you woke up alone and went straight to your computer to write an album review, but under different circumstances, I could enjoy this way more. Weeknd thanking the Lord while realizing he doesn’t know the girl’s name that sleeping next to him is peak rock star behavior. I love his vocal tone on this, it grabs you like a cowboy lassoing a bull. ![]() Feels like a hit, sounds like a hit, but it didn’t hit the bullseye. I know this one charted in over 20 countries or something but I’m surprised it wasn’t much bigger in the US. “ We don’t pray for love we just pray for cars,”there are some deep issues with materialism that he needs to confront. Weeknd’s mom goes to the grocery store to stunt, that is the greatest humble brag. The bars might not be there but it does make for a good song. The Weeknd can flow, I’m impressed by singers who can make the rapping/singing style grabbing. I love the production, it has a futuristic feeling, something that would be played during George Jetson's commute to Spacely Space Sprockets. But it’s the kind of song that you really can’t resist, it becomes this monkey that swing from your back. My gut reaction to this song after the first listen was unimpressed.

I wonder if this immense collection of records are because he has more to say-a story to tell-or an attempt to flood the market with plenty of new music. How does a man who once wore mystery like a cloak transition into a life as an ant underneath the world’s microscope? A change of hair, a change of sound what other changes await? I fear the album’s length: 18 songs, more than any previous Weeknd album. Stardom changed his life, and those changes are clearly detailed like the coke that once sat on his glass tables. More than just the sound, it was the song's content-Abel gives insight into this new lavish life of his. “Starboy” came with a different groove that you won’t find in his past: more upbeat a shade of dark blue instead of bleak black.

In a new video for “Die For You, that celebrates the project’s fifth anniversary, a baby Weeknd is a special, telekinetic young man who is captured by the government –- or similar powers that be - in order to harness his powers for their ends.
